Combustion Wave Stability in Transition through the Interface of Gasless Systems

Resumo

In this paper, using mathematical modeling, we study combustion wave stability in transition through the interface of gasless systems. The effect of a gas layer separating two chemically active gasless layers on the combustion wave stability was studied at all stages of the transition. Using the criteria obtained, we estimate the stability conditions of the transition combustion wave. The nonstationary dynamics of the combustion wave transition through the gas gap is studied with allowance for competing mechanisms of heat transfer, such as conductive and radiant transfer. We analyze the effect of radiation heat transfer in the gas gap on the characteristics and stability of the transient combustion process. The failure region of the igniter combustion wave is determined through the approach to the ignition system, while estimates of temperature and heat flux at the interface of the systems are given with respect to the time of the igniter combustion completion under conditions of dominant conductive and radiant heat transfer.
